Over break I watched Remember the Titans. This movie takes place during the civil rights movement in Virginia where blacks and whites are very separated at the time. One high school is challenged to overcome integration and achieve success as a football team. For me, this movie was great as I enjoy football and history so it made a good mix. It also helps that Denzel Washington stars in it. He did an awesome job of playing the role of the coach of the team. He had to overcome a lot of hate from the white parents in the school district but in all brings everyone together and wins a state championship. Washington, who plays Coach Boone, teaches the players a lesson greater than football and turns his players into men throughout the course of the film. With a great mix of history, football, great acting, and a little bit of humor, this film is a must watch for anyone who has not seen it. I would watch this movie over and over again because it does not get old. The team does overcome adversity to go undefeated and win the state championship even when it looked as if this team was not going to make it out of camp in the summer. I really enjoyed this movie and also felt it was very well put together.
Objectively, this movie was put together greatly. The actors in the film did a great job of pretending to hate the other race on their team and they acted with a lot of passion once they came to like each other. The setting and clothing that the actors wear in this film do also enhance the fact that this movie was set in the 1960´s. Even the cars in the film suggest it is set in that time period. The high school kids that are not on the football team and the parents of the kids on the team express their hatred for the other race in a strong way that makes the movie more interesting and the audience is always interested to see what will happen next. The audience is also very interested to see what will happen to Coach Boone if the team looses a game. Obviously a lot of people were against Coach Boone being hired because he replaced a white coach who was a local football legend. However, because the school was integrated, they hired a black coach but still allowed the previous coach to be on the staff. Throughout the film and during the games, these coaches have disagreements but overcome them to succeed as a team. I feel that this film deserves a good good rating and that it was one of the best football movies I have ever seen. This film is great for most ages to watch as it teaches younger kids about history and how small towns in America were back then. I highly recommend this film for everyone to watch.
Where is the organization here? The ideas are solid, but the single paragraph means that you are rambling! Use focused and precise pieces of organization to develop your ideas. Bounces around a lot. Some solid tone, but so much of it is coming back to the subjective. It's great that YOU love it, but make sure you're using your film skills to show what makes this movie objectively good. Title?
